Quiet Example
Tis an interesting thing to consider yet
the value of a quiet example set.
Like the crystal streams, or the mountain air –
consistent, constant, always there.
Blessing every soul who happens by.
Never asking who, never asking why.
Giving joy just by being who they simply are.
Giving light through the night like a brilliant star.
Giving hope to the cr...

The Gatherer
The Gatherer and the Giver sat atop a hill to gaze again
down at the village where they lived, and talk about the ones in need.
At end of day as sun went down, they sat there talking in the dim
as soul by soul they contemplated what was the best way to feed.
They did this often for they knew, despite the many years gone by,
the need to gather and to give would always be in high demand.
But...

Not A Single Thing
At the end of the day if the truth be told,
we don't own a single thing we hold.
Not the spoils we gain, nor the gold in hand.
Not the things we reap. Not the tracks of land
that we build upon, where we stake our claim.
Not the talents held, nor the claims to fame.
Not the words we write. Not the songs we sing.
No, we don’t own a single thing.
But the will we hold deep inside our heart.
Y...

Strangers Unaware
How odd this ragged stranger seems
who jarred me from my frozen stare,
at dust and dreams and other things
for which I spend my time and care.
No other man hath paid him mind,
no nod, nor smile, nor kindness shown.
No, none at all hath lent him time.
No good man opened up his home.
So what is lost if I like they
wave off a hand and turn back in,
and quickly ...

MATES
Glad to hear your voice
Happy to be with you
Always, you're very nice
Whatever you say or do
Lucky, to be your friend
To share you fact and fun
Forever together no end
Shining heart as the sun
Among thousand fans
We're the mates in reality
Sharing act and talks
Hearts believe in Honesty

Earning a Living
For a short period in our marriage of over thirty seven years I earned about two-thirds of the income.
I didn’t set out to do this it just happened this way. I was a Specialist in the Army. My husband was a nursing student and he was being helped to pay school and living expenses through the Veterans Administration.
My husband never complained ...

Time
It is so many years
since I felt some part of me wane:
all those thousands of days
since we spoke of nothing -
could find no words;
and even many more
since there were whispers
as we lay naked in the night
or in the cottage garden
beneath the harvest sun
It is so many years
that I have known that dark void:
deep within my very soul
and in all those long ...

Peace Is Sanity
Peace is the true path of sanity,
Violence is surely born of vanity,
the vain believe that they deserve more,
the sane know that’s a danger for sure,
as only when we share in all that we do,
can anything belong securely to you…
Peace comes from being alert to the needs,
of all in the world be it for clean water or seeds,
we know there’s more than enough food wasted,
that could be shared...
